She ran some blood tests due to my age, and my bloods show everything is normal, except I have a ferritin level of fifteen. podcast-host

This is counted as normal in my results, but I know from my own research that this is the very low end of normal and in some cases considered lower and certainly suboptimal. podcast-host

I've always had low ferritin in my pregnancies and take an iron supplement of 10 milligrams. podcast-host

Having researched, it looks like I want to be now taking a far higher iron. podcast-host

Can you suggest what sort of supplement I should take? podcast-host

How much? podcast-host

And which brands you'd recommend? podcast-host

Ferrous sulfate made me feel quite sick. podcast-host

Should I wait for my iron levels to increase before starting HRT, or can I do both simultaneously? podcast-host

I just want to feel better and have more energy and my old spark back. podcast-host

Thank you for all your great work. podcast-host

Okay, right, let's dig into this. podcast-host

Uh interesting. podcast-host

So, firstly, really good that you have a women's health specialist GP who's very open to starting HRT, and I would definitely crack on with that to address your symptoms because the ones that you've talked about, exhaustion, achy joints, even itchy ears, yes, uh, are going to be very likely attributed to your fluctuating estrogen levels. podcast-host

So I would literally crack on if it was me. podcast-host

I'm not giving you medical advice. podcast-host

I'm just sharing my opinion, uh, which is what you've asked for. podcast-host

So let's move on to then ferritin. podcast-host

And there's no issue with iron supplements interfering or being contraindicated with HRT. podcast-host
